Answer 1

分析 "重男轻女的现象"可翻译为："the phenomenon of valuing sons over daughters"，使某人在…方面处于劣势：put sb at a disadvantage in sth．

解答 答案：In many parts of the world，the phenomenon of valuing sons over daughters has put many women at a disadvantage in education and employment．本句中的主语是"重男轻女的现象"，这一现象所带来的影响是一直存在的，所以用现在完成时态，主语是the phenomenon，完成时态的助动词应该用has．

点评 在翻译此句时，要注意一些固定短语，同时分析好句中的成分，另外要理解句子所用时态．
